Portland, Oregon, and i-80

I don't know how to organize all these photos so here is a random assortment of photos from the drive there and back, downtown, and some vintage finds.


Lets start with the drive there.

Right off of i-80 in Iowa is the American Pickers store. Was pretty disappointed it was more of a tourest trap instead of everything I dreamed of and more, but what can I expect. Still had lots of cool old stuff in it.

Got delayed in Wyoming due to a windy whiteout storm. Pulled over on a random road at 4 in the morning and tried to sleep until daylight but I was just worried we'd all get killed by zombies or vampires or something.

Utah. It's pretty.



In Portland on the steps by the saturday market.

Went there 3 times, don't regret it.

At the Portland art museum. Well worth a visit!


On the way to the coast.

Couldn't resist buying these crazy 60s earrings.

Silk floral shirt coming to the shop soon.



Off of i-84 in Oregon is the duplicative forest. aka a gigantic tree farm. It's cool! You can see it from the highway.




Tomorrow I've got loads of photos to post from the Oregon coast.

  8. Awesome earrings! I was supposed to do an Iowa road trip to see the American Pickers' store but now I'm glad I didn't after reading your entry.

    Also, I'll be in Grand Rapids next weekend with 2 other bloggers so maybe we could do a meetup?
